Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
This may not amount to much in the way of mods, but it will get comments and is easy and relatively cheap. I have a small stash of stainless steel bolts, washers, nuts etc. in the shop, and any time I take out a highly visible bolt like in the eng compartment, I put back a polished SS piece.
This polishing can be done in an electric drill mounted in a vise, but a drill press is easier. Just chuck up the bolt, use a file to cut the logo/markings on the head, then go to a course grit sand paper, med., fine, then use your favorite metal polish for the mirror finish.
The only caveat here is, if you're using a SS nut on a SS bolt, you must use never-sieze or the threads are likely to gall.
